Moving Trucks remove Zig's from Foxchase

One chapter finishes and another begins...........
The final weekend is nearing completion. Two great shows with Keith Barany, who will always have a special spot in our hearts, being the last comic standing at Zig's. Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who has supported Zig's over the last nine years. We would not have been able to be in this position without you.
94 years ago this week, a building permit was isssued to build the Richmond Theater on King Street in Alexandria. Back then it was not known as Old Town since the town was not old, but had a thriving vaudeville scene supporting the military during World War I. Well, we are lucky to be the stewards of this fine property. Starting in late May, we will be operating the Old Town Theater at 815 King Street. It is a very special room that we are proud to present live entertainment to Alexandria.
We will be having a variety show headlining with stand up comedy from the Comedy Zone. We are going on a long journey with the destination being the Cotton Club from Harlem in the forties. (see movies, Richard Gere in the Cotton Club). B.F. Keith had a string of theaters in early 1900's and introduced Vaudeville entertainment to the masses (read women, he cleaned the show up for everyone) and we wish to carry his mantle on. The variety show is due for a revival, especially done Zig's way.
Bettina and Johnny are getting started at Seacret's, the girls are going to be selling tacos with me at Chevy's until we open at the theater, and Wanda is going to take a much deserved rest while we reload at the theater. We can not wait to have Bettina serve me a Dirty Banana at our favorite place in the world.
We are counting the days until they return on September to the Theater.
Stay tuned for more information coming in the next few days.
We truly appreciate the love we have recieved these last couple of weeks and hopefully it was returned in kind. We look forward to seeing you at the Theater.
Tom and the staff of what was known as Zig's
